Thankyou.

This is how I set up a book I did:

Create a PDF, as 2ndtonunn suggests.

Thankyou. It was just that I had an idea that margins on the right and left hand sides were different because of how one opens a book and the crease down the middle..

But then I have no idea where I would even be looking if I needed to change them.

I write a monthly magazine/Newsletter in A5 containing 48 Pages
When I send it for printing I save the publication as a PDF in a 'press ready' format
The Page numbers are added as a footer under the format tab - You can set things like page __ of __ there.
You can set them as alternate left and right on the 'view master page' tab on the bottom menu.

Used Page Plus for years but every time it has always been something I have printed out at home so have never touched any settings.

I am now wondering whether I have to change anything, or should consider anything else if I try and put a Family History book together and get it professionally printed? Right Page, Left Page different margins because of a book binding? Presumably odd page numbers appear on the right, even on the left? But if so, how is this done?
